This recipe is not just a simple cake; it is a culinary experience that brings together the best ingredients to create a delicacy that will delight any palate. Moreover, it is an excellent way to use ingredients that are nearing expiration, such as mascarpone and eggs. Let's get started! Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 20 minutes Total time: 3 hours (including cooling) Servings: 12 Ingredients *For the base:* - 10 eggs - 10 tablespoons sugar - 9 tablespoons flour - 2 tablespoons cocoa - 2 tablespoons chocolate pudding powder - 1 packet baking powder - 1 packet vanilla sugar - A pinch of salt *For the cream:* - 1 large jar of sliced peach compote (about 800g) - 500g mascarpone - 300ml liquid cream - 1 packet cream stabilizer - 3 packets white gelatin - 2 tablespoons sugar - 150g powdered sugar - 400g peach yogurt with large pieces of peaches *For the glaze:* - 200g chocolate - 150ml liquid cream - Whipped cream for decoration Preparation 1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by taking all the ingredients out of the fridge. Make sure the eggs and mascarpone are at room temperature, which will help achieve a fluffy texture for the base. Drain the peaches from the compote into a sieve and chop them finely, keeping a few halves for decoration. 2. Preparing the base: - In a large bowl, separate the eggs. Whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy. Gradually add the sugar and vanilla sugar, continuing to mix until you achieve a shiny and firm mixture. - Gently fold in the egg yolks. - In another bowl, sift the flour, cocoa, pudding powder, and baking powder. Add this mixture to the egg mixture, folding gently with a spatula to avoid losing air. - Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and pour in the batter, leveling it gently. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 20 minutes. Check with a toothpick to see if it is baked. 3. Cooling the base: - Once the base is baked, take it out of the oven and let it cool in the tray for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a large platter to cool completely. 4. Preparing the cream: - Soak the gelatin in cold water for 10 minutes. Then, in a saucepan, add 100ml of water and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Heat until it starts to boil, then add the gelatin and stir until dissolved. Let it cool. - In another bowl, mix the mascarpone with the powdered sugar and yogurt, gradually adding the cooled gelatin. Mix until you achieve a homogeneous composition. - Whip the liquid cream with the cream stabilizer and fold it into the mascarpone cream. Add the chopped peaches and mix gently. 5. Assembling the cake: - Soak the bottom layer with the compote juice, then spread half of the mascarpone cream. Place the other half of the base on top, pressing gently. - Melt the chocolate with the liquid cream and let it cool slightly, then pour over the cake, leveling it with a spatula. - Leave the cake in the fridge for a few hours, ideally overnight. 6. Decorating: - Before serving, decorate with whipped cream and pieces of peaches. Cut the cake with a knife dipped in water for perfect slices. Useful tips: - Sifting the flour is essential for achieving an airy and fluffy base. Do not skip this step. - The peaches from the compote can be replaced with other fruits, such as apricots or pineapple, to vary the recipe. - If you want to enhance the flavor, add a little cinnamon or vanilla essence to the mascarpone cream. Nutritional benefits: This cake is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients. Peaches provide a good dose of vitamin C and fiber, while yogurt offers beneficial probiotics for digestion. Frequently asked questions: - Can I use other types of cream? Yes, but make sure to use a cream that whips well to achieve an airy texture. - What can I do with the leftover peaches from the compote? You can use them to make a smoothie or add them to yogurt for a delicious breakfast. This fluffy peach cake is perfect for any occasion, from parties to family gatherings. Enjoy every slice and relish the compliments from your loved ones!
